How do you pronounce this?

Do you have a metasequoia glyptostroboides, Pete?

 

Steady, Paladin! If I read the news reports aright, they'll put you in the slammer in Falkirk these days for dropping cigarette ends! Mocking the accent might be a hanging offence!!!

 

Mock away...... don't think our Gordon is from Falkirk! :rolleyes: In fact, I know he's not!

 

:eek: Ock hay tha nooooo...!
:D

 

That's definitely a hanging offence! :eek: You cn do better than that surely, Pal??

 

I'm sticking to my pronunciation and I didn't take Latin, Greek or Spanish. But did do French for years and now Portuguese. :D

We could say ... nice Spring blossoms! :D

 

You forgot The Proclaimers, and Dendy, WOO! How could you? :eek:

 

Actually dendy, I do, thats one of my favourites to grow and say, it always leave people with their mouths open.

 

Yes, I enjoy it a lot! The tree's nice too, but a bit big for me...... :rolleyes:

 

Yes, but what about the pilliwinks? They came from Scotland... :(

And LoL Na then, me duck! (as they pronounce "Hello" in Lincolnshire...) Don't get me started on how ze Frainch pronounce scientific names! "ium" is "ee-erm", a "u" is the little squeaky sound you get in "tu" and "du", and a "th" is always just a "t".... oh, and they DO say the last letter - which in French they usually don't!!!
Wey, yer bugs, man ye divven knaa what they're gannin on aboot! (As they pronounce "Oh dear, I'm puzzled." on Tyneside..... :D

 

Goodness, Ha, you've lost me completely now and maybe a good thing!

Unfortunately, I don't understand colloquial (spelling?) accents at all, ever have done as I've lived abroad (that's overseas) for a lot of my life and have had to cope with all sort of accents.

I haven't got one by the way .. an accent, that is!

 

I only wanted a quiet night.

 

roders, my dearest, you did ask, did you not?

You did NOT say you wanted a quiet night! And a quiet night you have not got!

 

Roders - just say "Quince" and be done with it! :D
